barack obama is leading the country in the wrong direction. i'm a guy not willing to go along to get along. his message, i don't think there's a question really does resound there. >> another man whose message resounds there, when you consider the fact it was last year that rick santorum won the iowa caucuses, he made the headlines attacking the romney campaign, crediting president obama where he described it, at least making an effort to do the same. he's hardly a moderate. how does the party expand its base when see the more conservative candidates? >> taking more of an economic populous approach, you don't retreat on conservatism, but appeal to more working class americans by reaching out to them. the challenge, of course, is policy and ultimately that's where it gets tough for some in a working class americans where polling shows like government programs to a certain degree. as far as santorum in iowa goes, he did it the old fashioned way in 2012. all 99 counties, he courted voter by voter and it paid off for him in the caucuses. the chall

what will president obama do? he has had differing approaches towards this issue, but with the trayvon martin comments we've seen how he's willing to, you know, grasp it and break new ground. >> yeah. you know, andrea, i thought the trayvon martin speech somewhat impromptu remarks the president gave, if i had to pick out sort of the most memorable moments of this first eight months or so, almost nine months of politics in america, that would be at or near the top of the list. spoke very openly about his own struggles as an african-american man in society, and did so in a way he had never really done, even up to and including the speech he gave during the 2008 campaign when he was trying to distance himself from reverend jeremiah wright. what i wonder is, will we see sort of another step in that progression as barack obama looks to make a piece of his legacy race relations in this country. does he give that sort of personal speech? is it more sort of lofty. look, this is someone we know, you agree or disagree with
